You can never be sure if what he says is in a dish is what's actually in it:Spymaster said:
He has boasted about putting meat in "vegetarian" dishes. He is upfront about it.
So what's to say he's telling the truth about that "organic" ingredient? Or that he knows which approved farm reared that chicken in the risotto? Maybe it's really reconsituted Bernard Matthews turkey?
He can't be trusted as to what's in his dishes, and he thinks it's funny. To me that = liar and twat.

I doubt that's true, really. He just has a massive chip on his shoulder when it comes to vegetarians. Most chefs do. I sometimes think they have a point, some veggies seem to be veggie for ethical reasons, some environmental, some just saw a video in school that they can't get out of their head . . . and then there are some that just seem to hate food.
I'm not excusing giving veggies meat and thinking it's funny, though.

It was an accident but one which he found comedic. I think it was when he was doing kitchen nightmares. Got some chefs to knock up cheapo but good pizzas. Dragged people in off the streets for a free feed. Gave some pizza with a hidden layer of ham to a veggie. Didn't realise it himself until the bloke had scoffed it and someone told Ramsay who did his laugh and point routine when the veggie said it was lovely.

I've been going out with a girlShirl said:Who's Julie, chuck
Her name is Julie
But last night she said to me
As we were watching telly
She said 'Listen John I love you'
'But there's this bloke I fancy'
'I don't want to two-time you'
'So it's the end for you and me'
'Who's this bloke?' I asked her
'Gordon' she replied
'Not that puff!' I said, dismayed
'Yes, but he's no puff' she cried
'He's more of a man than you'll ever be'
I was so upset that I cried
All the way to the chip shop
When I came out there was Gordon
Standing at the bus stop
And guess who was with him
Yeah, Julie, and they were both laughing at me
Oh, she is cruel and heartless
To pack me for Gordon
Just cos he's better looking than me
Just cos he's cool and trendy
But I know he's a moron
GORDON IS A MORON!!
Gordon is a moron
GORDON IS A MORON!!
Here we go, two three four
she's a slut, and he's a creep
she's a tart, he's very cheap...
yeah yeah it's not fair
yeah yeah it's not fair

If this is the situation I think it is then it wasn't actually him,it was a chef in a restaurant he visited in a reality show he does. He asked the chef before hand whether she'd put meat in the dish and she said no (her english wasn't perfect), then when she listed the ingredients she said it contained ham.
He wasn't particularly apologetic, but to be fair it wasn't really his fault.

To be fair, the comparison with anaphylactic shock in people with peanut allergies is quite funny - but some people are always up for supplying you with a great quote.

I like him, sure he's a bit arrogant, but when you are widely accepted to be one of the finest chefs in the world I reckon you can afford to be.
And as to all the bullshit about how badly he treats his staff, how come there are thousands of people desperate to work with him? Everyone knows what he's like, you take it on as part of the deal.
Quite simply, if you can't stand the heat....
Oh and the veggie thing - it wasn't deliberate, the fact that the so called veggie found it yummy was fucking funny, and at the end of the day if you are veggie just accept the fact you are never going to eat the worlds finest food

He's just making people's tea for them. It's no big deal.beesonthewhatnow said:
Incidentally, the greatest and maddest restaurant I've ever been in (El Bulli in Spain - 3 Michelin stars) caters for veggies and meat eaters equally well. No egotistical shortsightedness there. Perhaps GR lacks the imagination needed to cook without meat.

No hair shows you care.
i think his target demographic was demonstrated by the time he did a 'blind food-testing' on the clientele at his restraunt and not one of them could tell what caviare or a fucking squewer with a cherry tomato, leaf of basil and chunk of mozerella was.
some of his cooking/technique is very good. some all style no substance.
AND he looks like his face has been carved into granite!
how the fuck does someone only a few years older than me end up looking like someone who would be considered 'rough looking' were he a vagrant sleeping under a railway arch?
think i'd rather have my boyish looks and attendant bon vive over his graggy-pus and gruelling work schedule any day.

"I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit."
He may well be a fantastic cook but he's a bully and i can't bear to watch it !
It must be a chef thing, our chef at work is an arrogant, bullying tosser too !

I loathe Gordon intensely. He is a pissy gimp with an inflated head.

Absolutely. Get some perspective here!moose said:He's just making people's tea for them. It's no big deal.
Wookey
Muppet is not a slur
He once took the piss out of another TV chef for being, and I quote 'a fucking media whore'. His beef was that chefs should run restaurants, not be on TV the whole time, plugging their kitchenware ranges and couscous brands.
This was just before he signed to do Gordon's Kitchen Nightmares (with the accompanying book Gordon Ramsey Kitchen Heaven), Gordon Goes Stateside, Hell's Kitchen, his FIFTH recipe book, and Gordon's Football Hell, in which he tells us of his favourite on-pitch gaffes, incredible penalty misses, astonishing own goals and some of the biggest goalkeeping blunders ever!
The hypocritical cunt has yet to launch his own-brand pan-set, but I'm waiting with baited breath.
